Changes of Composition and Nutrition Value of Some Gluten Free (Pseudo)cereals by Addition of Carotenogenic Yeast Cell Homogenate [PDF]
MoleculesGluten-free cereals and pseudocereals such as oats, quinoa, and buckwheat are widely used as bases for functional foods due to their protein quality, minerals, fiber, and polyphenols. However, they contain relatively low levels of some vitamins.

The Human Enzyme That Converts Dietary Provitamin A Carotenoids to Vitamin A Is a Dioxygenase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014 β-Carotene 15-15'-oxygenase (BCO1) catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of dietary provitamin A carotenoids to retinal (vitamin A aldehyde). Aldehydes readily exchange their carbonyl oxygen with water, making oxygen labeling experiments challenging. BCO1 has been thought to be a monooxygenase, incorporating oxygen from O2 and H2O into its cleavage products.

The contribution of provitamin A biofortified cassava to vitamin A intake in Nigerian pre-schoolchildren [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 2021 AbstractBiofortified yellow cassava has been developed to alleviate vitamin A deficiency. We examined the potential contribution of yellow cassava to total retinol activity equivalent (RAE) intake if replacing white by yellow cassava among pre-school Nigerian children. Dietary intake was assessed as part of a randomised controlled trial.

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of taurine as a feed additive for all animal species
EFSA Journal, 2012 Taurine is a beta‐amino acid, not incorporated into proteins. Taurine is involved in a number of physiological processes. In cats, dietary taurine at requirement/allowance levels is safe with a margin of safety of between 4 and 20. The few data available

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of vitamin C (ascorbic acid and sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate) as a feed additive for all animal species based on a dossier submitted by VITAC EEIG [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2013 Vitamin C (formerly known as antiscorbutic vitamin) is essential for primates, guinea pigs and fish. Vitamin C, in the form of ascorbic acid and sodium calcium ascorbyl phosphate, is safe for all animal species.

EFSA Journal, 2012 Folic acid, a synthetic folate compound, is converted in animals to biologically active folates. These are essential for DNA synthesis, repair and methylation, in particular nucleotide biosynthesis and remethylation of homocysteine.
